In order of preference, the best technique last: 1. -attributesOfItemAtPath:error: — can only give you some info info on if the file is writable 2. -isWritableAtPath: — takes more into account, but can't be sure. Gives you no details on *why* isn't writable 3. Actually try to write the directory
Always, always use #3 if you can; it's the only way to be sure.
